i just ent to wal mart and got $20 fog lights for a car and then made a custom braket.
I put a cars high beam head light on behind my bumper. its 50 watts and it is super bright. It shined all the way down a farm field. It costed $5 from fleat farm. After I put a stator and lighting coil on ill buy a nother one of them.

just make sure you dont go over 75 watts.. cause stocks are 35 watts a piece.. I used foglights and ran both at the same time and killed my battery.. when I ran one at a time it was fine..

I got me some trail techs from rocky mountain I think for like 120. I didnt think that was too bad of a price. I absolutely love em and think that they look great. And their soooo much brighter than stock.

trailtechs are nice.. the looks sweet on the bars.. and I like that they have a spotlight and a floodlight style housing..
You can go over the wattage. If you go over teh stock out put and run it hard like in a higher rpm you shouldnt have much of a problume.

It true. Thats how a yfz450 is. You beat it the battory stays charged. You put around battory go dead.
It could still go dead but running at a higher rpm would lessen the chance. I was going for like a hour or two at a low rpm and my 400ex battory was dead and i was using stock head lights. Ever since if i beat it it stays good. If a 400ex was kick start you chould through out the battory to save weight and still have lights.

From what I understand it's the stator that will eventually wear out because more wattage is being used than it is designed to produce.
And I belive he's talking about a 400ex, not a yfz450.
Your quad has had too many issues in the past to use as a reliable comparison:ermm:

on the subject-i really like the trailtech lights. they are made specifically for quads, look great, and are very useful.
